A ShSemakcr's Suicide.

New YORK, April 1S.-Eugcne Con
nor, who was one of the employees OF
hanan & Son, manufacturing shoe
makers, whose men refused to obey the
order to strike issued by the Knights OF
Labor, cut his throat this morning in Q
hotel at Park Row and Roosevelt street.
Conner went out with few men who
struck, but afterwards returned to work.
He had been repeatedly threatened by
the Knights, as was also his wife, and
this preyed on his mind and led to his
suicide.

One more suggestion may properly

1t is true that section provides that

BOOTHS RICHELIEU.
Different Impressions as to the
Merits of the Performance.

Different Impressions as to the
Merits of the Performance.
Well-fllad tiers of seats, lacking the
wall of men usually to be seen standing
around the back of the dress circle, COM
posed the audience at the Theatre last
night on the occasion of the opening per-
formance of Edwin Booth in Bulwer's
great play of tRichelieu."
The Impressions as to the merits of the
performance are so numerous that 1t
would be difficult to say just how the
great actor was received. True, there
was applause-thunders of it-but still
there were expressions of some
thing like disappointment and in
the minds of many there was a
feeling that something had been left I'M
done-that the play was not finished.
That this feeling existed cannot be
doubted, but as to the reason for it there
may be more than one explanation.
Booths conception of the role is vastly
different from that of Barratt, whether
better or worse is simply matter of
taste; but, accepting it as a conception.
who will say that the idea was not car
ried out in every line and every action of
the star? Many persons went to see
Booth expecting an exhibition of power
and force. They had right to expect
this, and if they were not satisfied, it was
because their ideas of what constitutes
power are to some extent limited. Does
the popular idea of power 60 beyond
the loud ranting Macbeth" style (per-
fectly legitimate in its place., to the con-
ception of such thing as quiet force? II
not, then the popular idea" has no right
to expect qualification in such a play as
"Richelieu." The force in such a role is
the force of an old man, into which no
true artist could think of infusing the
vigor of youth, and for this reason many
were disappointed. Richelieu's strength
was mental, not physical or Evolutionary.
whether or not Mr.. Booth carried out the
idea. 1t is true that Barratt has often
been acceeded the laurels of this
character, but as the whole ques-
ton depends upon the conception
and not the acting, it can only
be decided by individual taste.
In the scenes where passion was the
requirement Booth gave a charming
portrayal of the reused strength of an old
man. In the scene with Baradas he did
some handsome work and in the curse
scene he arose to his greatest height. AS
he pronounced the passage, mark
where she stands, ETC., the audience was
thrilled with rapturous appreciation of his
grand delivery, his sublime presence and
his mastery bearing.
Miss Vaders was sweet Julie and in
the more tender passages was very
charming. She lacks something
as an actress, which, however,
is readily overshadowed by the
womanly feeling she throws into
her part. Hanford was good and John
Malone, fair. Mr.. Royle, in whom much
interest was taken, from the fact of his
being Utah boy, had but a small part,
from witch it would be difficult to judge
of his attainments.
Booth appears tonight in "Hamret,"
his greatest play.

SPRINGvILLE SPRINKLES.
A Pleasure Yacht-COuntry Hotels
A MIs-DeaI On a Provo Caterer.


Sunday afternoon your representative
took trip over to Springville, one of the
prettiest towns in this country, but, at
the present time, duller than a fog in
winter. There is no money here. Bust
ness is very quiet, yet the outlook for a
prosperous summer is encouraging.
While in Springville, THE DEMOCRAT man
picked few items which may not be
entirely without interest.
Mr.. John Dallin is building a pleasure
yacht which he expects to launch on
Utah Lake about the last of this
month. The boat will be $50 feet
long and eight feet in the beam.
1t will differ in some particulars
from any other boat in Utah. When
completed and riding over the waves she
will be slightly craft. The boat is
being built with the intention of accom-
modating pleasure parties on the lake.
and its completion will be followed by
building number of smaller ones for the
same purpose. The first trip for the
yacht to make is to be to point on the
southwestern shore, where a party of
Tintic people will be taken aboard and
enjoy sail on the lake before returning
to this town.
Over hundred Springville men have
been engaged by Will Sharp to cut ties
for the railroads. Most of them have al
ready gone to the mountains.
Mr.. N. o. Groesbeck informed your
correspondent that work on the salt petre
and zokerite mines he discovered near
P. V. Junction is to be commenced on the
LIST of May, when thirty men will be set
to work with suitable machinery of the
most approved kind. 1t is said that oil
is sure to be found below parafne forma-
ton, and, therefore, it is the company's
intention to bore for oil in the near fu-
ture.
Mr.. Thomas Dallin, father of G. E.
Dallin, Utah's famous young sculptor,
says his son is now teaching modelling in
one of the Boston schools.
There is but one true-blue Democrat in
Springville, and he the brethren put in
the jug for hurrahing for Cleveland.
Springville is an unhealthy place for
Democrats.
There are a few cases of diphtheria
here, but all of them are of mild type.
Last Sunday old Bishop Smoot said in
the meeting house Brethren and sisters,
if we were of one mind, we could drive
all the Gentle merchants out of our Ter
ritory in one year; it is our money that
feeds and clothes them" Ii the willy old
Bishop had told the truth, he would
have said: eff the Mormons should
stop working for the ungodly and the I'M
godly should stop dealing with our peo-
pie, hundreds of US would be living on
the border of starvation within twelve
months" That kind of statement
would have been the truth, while what
Smoot did say was nothing more nor less
than pap to deceive the people.
If there is anything that a travelling
man delights to see, but SO seldom has
the privilege to behold, it is decent and
well-kept country hotel. In Utah there
are few, very few such, but many that
would almost be a disgrace to the
Middle Ages. In Springville l found, at
least, one house that is a good stopping
place, and that is the Harrison Hotel,
